"Okay, you need to leave now" I place my palm on his chest and try to push him away after he attempts to kiss me again. 

I've been trying to get him out of the cafe for the past half an hour. We've caught the attention of several customers already and Adeline just wouldn't stop giving me the 'I know what you did last night' look. And it's scary how the girl can look right through me. 

"Don't you have a job to go to?" I almost slip a smile as he makes yet another failed attempt to keep some kind of physical touch. He groans as he looks at his wristwatch. 

I swear he acts like 6 year old sometimes. 

"I'll see you later tonight" he cups my cheek and brushes his thumb gently. "And when I do, you won't be able to walk straight for a week, my love," he says huskily as he nips my ear to which I release a small yelp. 

He pecks my cheek and walks away with an arrogant smirk upon his face, leaving me gaping like a fish.

Wrong choice of words again, Sophia. I curse myself. His form immediately stands and he strides over to me, he is now inches away from me, his body is so close to mine that I am forced to take a couple of steps backwards. My back is pressed up against the window. Noah's breathing is deep but he speaks softly, "when you're there all I can think about is you." He raises his hand and tucks a strand of hair behind my ear. I step around him and head for the door, "uh I'm going to go to the hospital."

He leaned down very slowly and my eyes fell to his lips before snapping back up. He gently pressed his lips against mine, moving slowly at first before he began to deepen the kiss between us. You have no earthly idea how long I have wanted to kiss you." He whispered. "In this room, I'm your dominant and you will do as I say when I say without hesitation. I want you to only call me Master or Sir starting now. Do you understand?" His voice was rough as he spoke and the deepness of his voice combined with the command pulled at my willingness to obey him. I nodded my understanding without speaking. I felt a sharp slap come down on my ass. It didn't hurt but it shocked me. "When I ask you a question, I want an answer. Do you understand?" "Yes, Sir, I understand."
